Find the remainder when 11526 is divided by 5.

The remainder theorem is a method for dividing polynomials using Euclidean division. It states that when a polynomial, f(x), is divided by a linear polynomial, x - a, the remainder will be equal to f(a).  The remainder theorem can be used to: Factor polynomials of any degree Determine if a value is a root of a polynomial Evaluate polynomials by using polynomial division  The factor theorem is a special case of the remainder theorem. The factor theorem states that if f(a) = 0, then the binomial (x).  Here are some properties of the remainder theorem: The remainder is always less than... Show more

The remainder theorem is a method for dividing polynomials using Euclidean division. It states that when a polynomial, f(x), is divided by a linear polynomial, x - a, the remainder will be equal to f(a). 

The remainder theorem can be used to:
Factor polynomials of any degree
Determine if a value is a root of a polynomial
Evaluate polynomials by using polynomial division 

The factor theorem is a special case of the remainder theorem. The factor theorem states that if f(a) = 0, then the binomial (x). 

Here are some properties of the remainder theorem:
The remainder is always less than the divisor.
If the remainder is 0, then the number is perfectly divisible by the divisor.

A remainder that is either greater than or equal to the divisor indicates that the division is incorrect.
